Our Story: The Sudden Chancellery
25. Airports
“Relax, dear...” Mona told Gala who is now contemplating all the events that have just happened. “If she wants to stay with her husband, yes. That's what he wants, Gala. we can't change what has become his decision.”.
It is clear that the face appears to lack sleep. Dark circles were plastered under Gala's eyes. A great guilt filled his heart. Various free suppositions churned in his chest, and made his chest increasingly crowded with regret.
“Now ... You see for yourself.. What good is it that you maintain your prestige to be sad? There isn't one, is there? You just hurt a lot of people. Febri, Niko, Gemma. If you are sad, then sad. That's a reasonable feeling. but you can't push them far, you need them.”.
Gala has always had problems with sad emotions. He could never handle that feeling well. If when SMP first, his education that became ambiguous, now his social life is finally sacrificed.
Gala had locked herself in a room for a few days and pondered what was going on between her and Gemma. The pleasant and distressing memory melted into one invading Gala's brain, and making it difficult to sleep. Slowly but surely, he ended up thinking about whatever he had been through all this time.
Febri and his family, Niko, were raised by the family for being married by accident. Not to mention Mona who finally had to accept leadership milestones from the late Bobby Aditya at the age of 24, an age where Mona still wants to have fun with her youth. Gala missed everything that happened to the people closest to her.
Selfish. At the thought of it all, Gala's brain was riven as to what she could fix before she left the country. So he started from Mona first, the brother he had always ignored. Listen to every piece of advice his sister gave him with an open mind.
Upon hearing Febri's name, Gala's head turned to Mona. “They are now how are you, Brother?”
“Late this month, Febri and Diana will be in quarantine. While Niko again preparation SNMPTN. Why then?”
“I forgot my brother's story, if Om Togar company goes out of business.”
Mona rounded her lips looking new to know, but not surprised. “Oh. Where does she live now?”
“He said Cengkareng area, I haven't been there since they moved. It used to be a big house, now living in a narrow alley, right? That doesn't care about this Gala!
“Let's go there. Do not let you be judged the same Om Togar want to meet Febri when he is still rich! Remember what Febri did for you?” Gala replied with a slow nod. “Then, now...what do you want? You think of something? You need to fix your relationship with your friends."
Gala took a deep breath. “Kakak can, give position to Om Togar? But the usual. He must have refused if the department was given too high. Manager, Head of Production, Head of Warehouse, and others still can.”
Mona smiles. If the sister thinks about this, it means the sister can be invited to communicate and receive advice well. That possibility, his meeting with Gemma yesterday has opened everything. Although guilt and regret were inevitable, the girl had helped Gala overcome her grief in an unusual way.
One that Mona knew, that the lesson the girl had given Gala was so great. Although his sister was a bit changed, but it was better than seeing Gala getting worse.
“Let's Brother set!”

A few weeks later…
“Take care, Bro!” niko said who then embraced Gala. “Cepet back to Indo... don't overtime feel at home in the country of people!”
Gala nodded slowly without answering. He also smiled seeing Niko and Erika turned out to be very happy. Niko finally got into the college she wanted. And happily, the sex of their child is a boy born within a few months.
“Gift I sent directly to home!” said Gala who looks not to bother.
“Why don't you just love me right away?” ask Niko ketus.
“Cerewet..” said Gala who turned her eyes to Erika. “Sabar-patient lo same husband chatty and perverted like this friend of mine, yes.”
Erika chuckled while stroking her stomach.
“Anyway, Febri equals Diana nitip greetings. The new doi can hold the hape just in the afternoon. Morning afternoon mulu exercise,” added Niko. “Dah, I unplug ah... see you later!”

[Niko Oktavius: Thank you, baby crib, I bought it, hahaha!].
Gala smiled at the message from Niko who said that the gift had arrived. There is nothing to give but a super big crib, which can be worn until the age of Vincent— - that's how the plan of Niko and Erika— children's names reaches three years.
The sound of the speakers broke Gala's daydream, which called airline passengers bound for Sydney, Australia, for an immediate check-in. The man himself had checked in earlier and his large suitcases were already in the trunk. And just wait 14:05 for boarding. That means, there's still an hour left before they have to get in and stand by on the plane.
“Wait a moment yes.. Brother must work this document first, bentar.” At the other end, Mona was sitting a few chairs away from him for work. His glasses sparkled in the light on the screen of the laptop he was wearing.
“Company recently acquired Papa before he died.”
“What company Sis?”
“Ekspedisi... A bit chaotic management. At that time immediately Brother was swept by the rules of Aditya Group there, ranging from finance to employee acceptance. Anyway everything deh... Eh, they're in the fog..”.
“Surely many are corrupt..” comments Gala of origin.
Mona nodded. “Iya, one of them. His discipline is very severe. Lower-level employee benefits are much cut, just as the nepotism is high. There are so many sensible rules we.”
“Example?”
“Presence there still uses employee attendance hours that can often be manipulated hours. There continue to be several employee claims notes that are manipulated, but still pass in accounting. Then the status of its employees is unclear and does not comply with our rules. Anyway bad. There are also those who are horrified by managers who play marital divorce without status updates, or there are those who write mating status for reasonable allowances and in order to enter promotions.”
Gala hears Mona's complaint about the new company, then lets her brother do his job.
Winding his passport bored, Gala sat at a fast food restaurant serving fried chicken flour. When the man turned his head, there was a little boy who was carrying vanilla ice cream.
The beautiful memory was again stifled, until unknowingly, Gala smiled. But he did not want to buy the ice cream, just looked at it from afar.
“Ready?” ask Mona.
“Hmm,” reply Gala slowly. He put his phone in his jeans pocket and followed Mona to the door where the officers were waiting.
Gala and Mona, with duffle bag each immediately waiting in the queue of people who will enter for the check-in door. Then his attention was distracted when someone called him.
“Gala! Wait!”
That faint voice made Gala turn her head. But he did not find anyone he knew. Back, he stood in his position to advance following the snaking human queue sequence.
“Gala!”
This time he was sure that someone called him. Gala immediately turned and looked at the girl she loved from the direction of terminal 1, with a desperate face with a longing gaze, running with all her might towards her.
Gala rounded her eyes looking in surprise. “What are you doing here?”
